Kenmore Range Error Code F1 E2

F1 E2 on a Kenmore range indicates an internal error within the display board. The display board has detected a fault in its own circuitry or processing that it cannot self-correct. This typically requires replacing the display board to resolve the issue.

It is not recommended to continue using the range while this error is active. An internal board error can cause unpredictable control behavior, meaning the oven may not respond correctly to settings or could behave erratically. Disconnecting power until the board is replaced is the safest course of action.

Repair costs depend on whether you do it yourself or hire a technician. A replacement display board for a Kenmore range typically costs between $80 and $250 depending on the model. If you hire a professional technician, labor costs can add another $100 to $200 on top of the part price.

The first step is to unplug the range or turn off the circuit breaker, then restore power to see if the error clears. If the code returns, the display board will need to be replaced. A technician comfortable with appliance disassembly can perform this repair, but it does involve working with the control panel assembly.

A power reset by unplugging the range is the correct first step, and it may temporarily clear the code. However, if the display board has a true internal hardware failure, the error will return after power is restored. A reset alone is unlikely to provide a permanent fix for F1 E2.
